18 Jul 2014

The Brazilian Interdisciplinary AIDS Association (ABIA) expresses our deep sentiment of grief with the lives lost in the tragedy of flight MH17 of Malaysian Airlines over Ukraine yesterday, when a large number of AIDS researchers, activists and workers died. We send our condolences to their families and institutions. Furthermore, if it is definitively confirmed that the aircraft was attacked by a missile, we want to also express our deep concern with the spread and escalation of geopolitically motivated localized conflicts, such as the one current underway in the Ukraine-Russia border area.
